Sanctity of Marriage and Family

"I will uphold the sanctity of marriage and of family life."

Not clan, not household; traditional nuclear family -> expanded, blended family. Broken families?

Includes members of the "household of faith"? Includes God?

Marriage - Genesis 2:18-25; divorce - Matthew 5:31-32

Consecrated to sacred purposes, held inviolable.

Protect and promote. Commitment: make a decision and stick tenaciously to it in order to overcome tempation.

Scope: Personal, only focussing outward after ensuring inward success. Not global: no save-the-world focus, except when called.
